Phoenix Gold Phorum

Almost ready for the first comp of the season. I managed to get some gear installed yesterday evening.

I'm not sure what the problem was with my power last season, but it seems to not be a problem anymore.

you should sell it all and use Jensen I heard there 12 are loud off 100 watts each
just kidding hope you don't have more new pg problems at the costs you pay each time I would say f pg if it happens again

that's funny man but I have to laugh anytime someone posts a pic of a Jensen on the old school facebook page. I can't believe there are people out there that want to collect that line and just get wet when there is a pic of one. That was best buys go-to line when I installed there and I loved how easy they were to tune as no matter which amp/line you had to have the gain at 100% to keep up with the decks power.

^ lol.

So far so good, very happy this year. I'm still not sure what I did last year. I had problems getting power, and amps shutting down.
For whatever reason I'm not having the problem now.

I tried to take a video today. But it did not work well. I'll try again tomorrow.

But I did pretty good numbers today. I'm fairly confident I have finally reached a 150db.

However I have serious issues with my roof flexing. It's so violent and very annoying. For any one that's gone through a car wash drier with a GMC Sierra knows exactly what it sounds like.

I know these are off from term lab. But I have re calibrated the unit with a term lab score and I know I'm about 3-5db out. So based on a rough idea, I'm fairly confident I can do a 150 on the 22nd and 23rd. I hope.

I would hope you hit 150.

Thanks Scott, but it really has been a struggle. I know the equipment is capable. But I've had quite a struggle to get to that 150 mark.
I don't know what it is but 147 I can do all no problem. After that it's always been a pain in the ass.

Maybe I loose pressure due to my roof just flexing so bad?

everything from the vehicle up matters but it should be loud as heck

glad to see everything is working so far. you are loosing a fair amount with the roof not sure what you can do other than weld something in

Scott do you have any ideas how I can stiffen up my roof?

I have not installed deadened yet. I have lots and Mike is giving me more. But I don't think even three layers will make much of difference. What do you think?

omg that is bad... I can't believe how much movement you have
I think you will need a ton a matting but I think you might need to weld something as support

I know. It's annoying as f$&k.
I've been working on finding a solution, and have an idea I think will work well.
I have to check the rule book though. I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to do without being put in a higher class.

Right now I'm in super street 5+. I do not want to compete with guys that have monster spl setups. This is just fun for me.

if you have a welder or know someone that does it could be as simple as welding either some flatstock steel to the roof or maybe a pipe/square tubing if they are small enough. Obviously you would need to either repaint the roof or maybe just a simple wrap to cover the spots where the paint on top will probably get burned.

I was thinking of a layer of deadener, then use a super strong double sided sticky tape to install a few strips of flat steel. Then two more layers of deadened.

This was a recommendation I had a couple days ago. I think it might work.

not sure how it will hold up to the vibrations. rather then just flat steel try and find some L-shaped and it will be much stiffer. But this is all just ideas I would start by taking out your ceiling in the car and see what is up there to work with.

Thanks Scott. Ill try to get it down tonight.

Your best bet is to have the roof skin removed, reinforce it, then re-skin it.

Go down to Mike/gastroker. See how he had a sunroof, then he didn't? Re-skinned, it wasn't that bad either from what he told me.

I tried to look. I just seen a pic of the car. But no link to view a vid.
